Happy Mother's Day

To all you beautiful, caring, loving Mother's - thank you for being caring, loving and beautiful. My wish is for you to know that you are loved!

Sharing a gorgeous lily from a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my dear Derrick!Figs! I have a large number of figs - some are small-ish because we haven't had much rain to plump them up, but the tree seems to have grown higher and wider in the last 2 months and as a consequence there is a lot of fruit:

Too many to eat fresh, so I made some fresh fig chutney for the first time. The initial tasting was delicious, but I do have to wait for a month for the flavours to develop. I found a couple of recipes on the internet and did a little bit of adjustment to add spices which I like.
I think I'll be making some more :)
